April 17, 2007, Inner Wisdom

I get asked a lot questions along the lines of, "Why do I feel this way?". I also hear many comments like, "I just don't know what's going on with me."

Needless to say I can't answer questions like that, what I do is help people discover their own answers. Everyone has all the answers they need deep inside themselves.

Inner wisdom isn't a great mystery and accessing it is easier than you may think. There are three major things that you have to know to do this.

1 - Emotions:
All emotions and gut feelings are sensations in the body. These sensations are the key to you getting your answers. When you learn to distinguish how different emotions feel as sensations in your body you will then know how you are truly feeling, even if you have to take time to process it out at first, and you will then have access to knowing what feeling means something is right for you and what is not. In other words you have to learn where happiness, sadness, shame and every other emotion resides in your body and what its sensation is for you. Believe it or not it’s different for each of us.

2 - Question Yourself:
Center yourself and focus on the particular sensation; then ask all kinds of questions: What is this about for me?; Have I felt this way before - does this remind me of anything?; If so when and was the situation similar to the one I am in now?; What do I really want?; Who am I really mad at?; Am I angry or am I feeling hurt?; etc.

3 - Listen:
Listening to yourself is the art of feeling your feelings and listening to the thoughts that pop up in your mind. Clear your mind and accept the first thought as the correct answer, no matter how illogical it may seem - don't analyze. As you continue working it will fit into the big picture. Sometimes it can take a few minutes for an answer to come to you. Don't worry just let it take its time. You may have to ask yourself the same question in another way in order for it to get through - it's funny how that works sometimes. No matter what do not accept I don't know as an answer. After all if you don't have your own answer who does? As well, listen to what your bodily sensations are telling you as you do this exercise in getting to your truth. Does the answer to a particular question feel right, wrong, or along the right lines but not quite there yet? Keep going until it resonates with you.

If you feel that you need some help learning to do this please get in touch with someone who can lead you through this technique. When you embrace doing this it will change your life.
